At this step the interaction among the partners joined around the chosen unmet need continues by engaging, discussing, sharing and viewing. The final common scope is then determined and common documentation is created. This step is finalized once there is a confirmed and detailed unmet need description and the dedication of partners and collaborators is confirmed.
